Parts You'll Need

This project is sourced from another site, not written by us — this list is our best match of their components against what we stock, not a verified bill of materials. Always check the original blog (linked above) for the actual parts list before buying.

This list includes a generic resistor set as a placeholder — it is not matched to the exact value or part number this circuit needs. The correct one is specified on the original source page linked above; check it before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because this is a basic resonant-inductive setup using discrete components, the primary and secondary copper wire coils must be placed very close to each other, typically within a few centimeters, for the magnetic field to effectively couple.
You should use a general-purpose NPN transistor with similar ratings, but the BC-547 is specifically chosen here for its compatibility with low-power undergraduate analog experiments.
Enamelled wire has a very thin insulating coating that allows the turns of the coil to be tightly wound right next to each other without shorting out, which maximizes the magnetic field strength for a given coil size.
